Garbage Disposals FAQs

Common questions about our Garbage Disposals services

How do I know if my garbage disposal needs repair or replacement?

Age and condition determine whether repair makes sense. If your disposal is over 10 years old and having frequent problems, replacement usually costs less long-term than repeated repairs. We check the motor condition, mounting assembly, and electrical connections to give you an honest recommendation. Simple jams or clogs can often be repaired quickly, but worn motors or cracked housings typically mean it’s time for a new disposal.

What size garbage disposal do I need for my Chicago home?

Disposal size depends on your household size and cooking habits. Most Chicago homes do well with a 3/4 horsepower disposal for 2-4 people, or 1 horsepower for larger families or heavy cooking. We also consider your existing electrical setup and sink configuration. Chicago’s hard water means you want a disposal with stainless steel components that resist corrosion. We’ll recommend the right size and features for your specific situation.

Can you fix a garbage disposal that keeps tripping the circuit breaker?

Circuit breaker tripping usually indicates electrical problems or a seized motor. Sometimes it’s a loose wire connection that’s easily fixed. Other times the motor is drawing too much current because it’s failing or jammed with something hard. We check the electrical connections first, then test the motor operation. If the disposal motor is damaged, replacement is typically more cost-effective than motor repair on residential units.

How long does garbage disposal installation take in Chicago homes?

Most disposal installations take 1-2 hours depending on your existing setup. If you already have proper electrical connections and standard plumbing, installation is straightforward. Older Chicago homes sometimes need electrical upgrades or plumbing modifications that add time. We’ll assess your situation upfront and let you know if any additional work is needed. The actual installation includes mounting, electrical connection, plumbing hookup, and thorough testing.

What should I do if my garbage disposal is jammed?

Never put your hand in the disposal. First, turn off power at the switch and circuit breaker. Try the reset button on the bottom of the unit. If that doesn’t work, you can try turning the disposal manually using an Allen wrench in the bottom center hole while the power is off. If you can’t free the jam or don’t feel comfortable doing this, call for service. Forcing a jammed disposal can damage the motor or create safety hazards.
